Deal on a diamond in the rough..
Picked up this Lotus Excelle gemstone lacking luster last autumn before a Patriots 4:30 Sunday game. Seller told me it was hanging in his garage since 1979 and layers of funk on it showed truth to claim. Shimano Arabesque shifts. Had to wait all winter into spring b4 27" gumwall tires arrived at Warehouse. Their stock went like hotcakes! Shown on CL for $75. I offered $50, he met me halfway at $60. I asked, "Have you had much response from your posting?" He said, "Lots of calls but nobody showed up to see it." He who snoozes loses.
Garage grunge to the max! Did he ever ride it at all!?
I believe seat clamp may be on backwards..
Seller's garage clutter... Buyer's owning pleasure! 😊
Little touch-up paint and wax, hoping it gleams.
